"Dictionary of Environmental Economics" by Anil Markandya, Renat Perelet, Pamela Mason, Tim Taylor

This dictionary will be a useful resource for the reader in accessing the literature relating to environmental economics. Definitions are written so as to be comprehensible to the undergraduate or layman, whilst including the technical detail necessary to elucidate the key concepts.

Environmental economics as a discipline is expanding rapidly. With this expansion, an increasing vocabulary has been developed to explain various techniques and ideas within the subject area. As a consequence, the need for a dictionary to explain the terms used has arisen. This is the first fully comprehensive dictionary of environmental economics and key legal terms. Each expression of phrase is explained in nontechnical language, with references given to its use in the growing literature on the subject area.
